Reprint the fetch lands...

So MaRo had said they planned on re printing some other modern staples in upcoming sets besides the shocks in RTR block and the cards in Modern Masters. I'm hoping they reprint the fetch lands soon but not only the zendikar block fetches but hopefully the onslaught fetches or at least functional reprints so we have access to all 10 color combinations.

What are your guys thoughts on how soon you think they might, if ever. And do you think we will ever have all 10 in standard and modern?

I think they should alternate fetches, shocks, and pain lands in different series, just because they are all a decent land base, and they encourage the strategic element of the game.

So, 3 years from now, shocks would come back. Next year, it might be fetches. The year after, pain lands. Keep the metagame cycling, and the cards will retain value because even though they are being printed, they come out with relative rarity.

I'm worried that the ludicrous prices to which the Onslaught fetches have soared will dissuade WOTC from ever reprinting them, which would be a big shame. I'm also worried that the presence of shocklands in Standard means that the earliest we could see any fetchland reprinted is Huey block or Magic 2016.

I actually would be very upset if they printed ONS fetches in Theros. I think they'd be a great reprint for Huey block because I agree that a reprint is warranted, but the idea of a fetch/shock mana base in Standard is just depressing, it would make the format even more aggro/midrange goodstuff-oriented than it already is.

W may only be paid with white mana.U may only be paid with blue mana.B may only be paid with black mana.R may only be paid with red mana.G may only be paid with green mana.C may only be paid with colorless mana.1 may be paid with white, blue, black, red, green, or clolorless mana.

This is probably the worst reason to not include fetches. C'mon people.

I think it is one of the best reasons. Did you play during Zendikar? Games and matches went long due to the extra shuffling required. It made games boring. If even one player was using a heavy fetch/landfall deck, tournament time was extended for everyone. I played Boros back then, and I've never been so glad to see a deck rotate.

Yes I did, and fetches were hardly a problem. You're talking about, at MOST, an extra 4 shuffles per player per game.

When I played Wolf Run Ramp, I seriously shuffled my deck probably 10+ times EVERY GAME, and time was never an issue.

But to reiterate my original point, a small nuisance of players taking too long to shuffle is HARDLY a viable reason to not reprint Fetchlands. Wow.
